Traffic experts have come up with a comprehensive list of ways Plymouth could rally together to help solve daily congestion troubles.

The AA has come up with a package of potential solutions that could finally bring to an end problems faced by families in and around Southway, Tamerton Foliot, Derriford and Crownhill as they make the school-run and get to work.

And road boffins are calling on everyone to help make things better so Plymouth doesn't grind to a halt.

The plan calls on parents, schools and employers to do their bit to ease tension on the traffic network.

Some of the solutions are simple, others would need time to implement and require a bit of planning, like a possible re-structure of Plymouth's park-and-ride ticketing system.

A day rider from Southway into Plymouth costs £3.60, or a seven-day pass sets you back £13, and the AA believes Stagecoach could revise its prices during intense roadworks to encourage more people to ride on public transport and take cars off the road.

AA spokesman Luke Bosdet said: "If it's free to park at your place of work but then you pay to use the bus, which in zones one and two costs up to £4, that would work out about a £1 more expensive than it is in places like Basingstoke, where it's £1.30 return.

"So the bus company could consider reducing the cost of its park-and-ride service.

"If the park-and-ride is so popular in Plymouth, then the operator could afford to make it cheaper.

"If people buy tickets in advance then the operator would know the level of extra demand, it gives people an opportunity to try it out.
